Paul Langlois (born August 23, 1964 in Ottawa, Ontario) is a Canadian guitarist, best known as the rhythm guitarist for the rock band The Tragically Hip. He also sings backing vocals with the band.

Langlois was a high school friend of lead singer Gord Downie; he was asked to join The Tragically Hip in August of 1986. He frequently uses Gibson Les Paul guitars, unlike lead guitarist Rob Baker, who employs many different guitar brands.

He was inducted as a member of The Tragically Hip to the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in April, 2005 at the Juno Awards in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
